The sailor understood it, and his face
actually turned purple with rage. He
clenched his fists, and there Is no tell
ing what indiscretion he might have
committed had not Louis Hunter inter
posed. The young man addressed the
angry Spaniards in their own Ian
guage, with fluency that showed him
to be well acquainted with the tongue.
He spoke rapidly for moment,
when the faces of the Spaniards re-

you could whip the whole of Captain

hardly think you'd like TO undertake.
For my part, l don't want to spend
even one night in Moro Castle: and I'm
pretty certain that after do get back
TO the ship, I'll not appear in Havana

"You'w won't be urged to-" the sailor
retorted.
'Wou'd said quite enough to put you
where the American Government would
have trouble to find YOU" continued
Louis. II believe that IL I hadn't
stepped in and smoothed out affairs

The sailor had an angry rejoinder
on his lips, when his attention. as well

the country round that prisoner had
escaped. The alley and every house
in it were thoroughly searched; but no
discovery was made. 1t was expected
by some of the officers that the re-
capture would be easy, since the fugi-
tive had been plainly seen by thou
sands, and being bareheaded and
dressed in white, any attempt to Sc
cure other clothing would certainly be-
tray him. But at dark of that day he
had not been found, nor had any thing
tangible been heard of him.
When at last the two Americans
whom we have seen at the Paseo were
able to dsentanglc themselves from the
crowd, they began to make their way
down To the quay. Their progress was
slow. Squads of soldiers patrolled
every street, and they were often
halted and commanded to give an ac-
count of themselves. On these occa-
sions Louis Hunter would stand care
lessly by with his hands in his pockets.
while the sailor, who had been pre-
pared by the latter events of the day
to act and talk temporarily, would
pull some folded papers from his breast
pocket, and declared:

fectly peaceabIc. We belong to the
bark Nellie Willis in the harbor.

my nephew, Louis Hunter, who sails

waiting to ship more hands. We've
been TO the Paseo to see the execution"
This full explanation, with glance
at the papers, and sometimes ques-
ton or two, suiliced 10 pass the two
along; and when the Captains Span
ish was not understood, Louis was
called upon to explain. As they
neared the water the crowd became
thinner, and they were able TO walk more
rapidly, and converse as they walked.
"By all odds, the most daring thing
l ever saw in my life," the Captain de-
clared.
"a man couldn't try it once out OF
ten thousand times. and escape bull

Louis.
The Captain eyed him savagely.
Anger and disgust by turns ruled his
face.

he smote his open palm with his fist,

ourselves and ''build high" How
necessary it is in this day, when intern
perance stares us in face, that our
young people build high, safe beyond
the reach of the terrible wave, which SO
remorselessly sweeps away the happy
homes and bright youth of our land
How many a man with lettering steps
tries to flee to the hills when it is too
late. The flood is upon him, and he
can not resist its force.
Third, we can not all be great agita-
tators. There are some few, who, by
Divine Providence, are appointed to
sound the warning note, and then it is,
our blessed privilege to carry that mes
sage to our friends. Do we do it? Can
we not think of some friend who,-
though associating with us every day.
we have never spoken to in regard to-
the safety of his dwelling? We per-
haps feel secure, having heard the
warning in season to escape, but have
we warned others?
Oh, that we could throw off more of
our selfshness, and try to save those
who are in danger! Is there not some
young person exposed to the evil of in
temperance to whom as yet no word
has been spoken? Standing upon the
hillside, we see the flood coming. VIII
we rest content with our own safety?
or will we try to save those who are in
peril even at the risk of our own
lives? Let us sound the warning before
it is too late. Let us reach the young
people of the present; urge upon them
the necessity of building high" and
the men and women of the future viii
not be touched by the wave of in
temperance.
God grant that we may take heed tor
the voice of the rider, and flee to the
hills for our lives.-W L. c., IN Golden

God gives to US for food,
And if we use them as we ought.
They're wholesome, pure and good;
But when we squeeze their juices sweet
Into a jar or kettle,
They soon decay, ferment and change,
By action chemical,
Into some other substances
So different, that we call
The one, carbonic acid gas,
The other, alcohol.
And when the alcohol has found
Its way into the cup,

Who drinks its contents up.

The culture of tobacco in Germany

1t is estimated that 800, 900 head of
mutton sheep have been driven from
Oregon this year to Wyoming and Ne

The Territory of Alberta, in the
Canadian northwest, contains, tits COM
puted, 76,325 cattle, 10,035 horses and
81, 800 sheep Thus, at $40 per head,
$3,053, 900 is invested in cattle 1901, 500
in horses at $50 per head, and $50, 200
in sheep at 81 per head. This is very
good beginning, considering Il is only
three or four years since the first at
tempt was made to establish ranches in
the territory.
According to the crop report issued
by the Department of Agriculture at
Washington, the largest yield per acre
of buckwheat during the past season
was in the New England States, where
as much as twenty bushels per acre was
obtained. Maine and Vermont each
produce as much as all the rest of the
New England States together. New
York and Pennsylvania grow two-thirds
of the product of the United States.
The entire crop for the country is H.
100000 bushels, and the average yield
per acre is thirteen bushels.
An idea of the extent of the milling
business at Minneapolis, Mimi, can be

from the Northwestern Miller, of No

high figures last week, being the largest

barrels, averaging 26,211 barrels daily,
against $4,000 barrels for the preceding
week, and 161, $50 barrels for the cor
responding time in 1885. The same
number of mills (nineteen) are in oper-
alton this week, and the product prom
Uses to reach as high point as last
